It's taken 18 years for The great Horton Foote's terrific Reaganomics-era comedy to trickle down to New York since its 1987 premiere but director Michael Wilson's very funny and very human production at Primary Stages is well worth the wait.

Performances began September 18; opening night was Thursday, September 27 at 6PM, with performances scheduled through October 28.
